I did get to mow this week which I actually thought was fun. Zero toilet paper in my area. Wonder if that will ever ease. Not panicking for paper yet but if this keeps up-- <br />Keep busy and stay safe.

You won't want to sell although I know you really do. :)<br />The furbabies sure do have the right idea. Nothing to worry about at all. Just as long as mama doesn't run out of food for them! <br />Take care, I'm anxious to get to the point of crocheting where you are. I know that was a pix off the internet but your stitches are always so neat compared to mine.

That means half of all the working couples have to stay home. My department at work has lost two members this way, so the rest of the work falls on those remaining. Most of us are still working because we need the money. I would have no problem with staying home, well, all the time, but I don't see that happening.<br /><br />With regard to the potatoes' price, here we have somewhere we can report price gouging. You may want to consider that. Five dollars for five potatoes can't be the usual price...<br /><br />I hope things continue well for you. As usual, I am impressed at how much you can do!John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-77413287858386505762020-03-22T21:37:22.796-06:002020-03-22T21:37:22.796-06:00Sounds like you are keeping busy!

I may go in for a couple of hours early Tuesday morning but it will only be me and one of the caretakers so we will be observing Social Distancing. I went out Saturday morning for a walk and to get some fresh groceries (It was bitterly cold but it was nice to get some fresh air). My No Frills was doing a good job of only letting in so many people at a time and having us stand on an X on the floor while waiting to check out so we were the proper distance apart. They had lots of bread, meat & dairy and weren't too bad for fresh fruit & veg but frozen section was decimated and the rest of the shelves were hit or miss.<br />I too have a list of chores to get through however, I live in a small apt. so I'm trying to pace myself.<br />I'm going to sign up for another online course, putting out a new puzzle tomorrow and have lots of books plus Netflix so I have lots to keep me busy.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-78526712067279683922020-03-22T20:02:13.926-06:002020-03-22T20:02:13.926-06:00We will be heading back up to the city on Friday. ...We will be heading back up to the city on Friday. Kris has his specialist appointment that day. He is working half days from home now as the occupational therapist said that would be best for him. The city was very quick at getting him his laptop delivered. Turned out they really miss him. <br /><br />Keeping busy here, taking walks on the almost deserted streets, knitting, cleaning and baking. Supplies are sometimes hard to find, but so far our pantry and freezers are holding their own.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-88282340590795749712020-03-22T16:11:03.670-06:002020-03-22T16:11:03.670-06:00MY gosh girl, you are da bomb in getting things do...MY gosh girl, you are da bomb in getting things done! I smiled over your list being ignored by your son. Haver three of them that do the to me all the time. That pillow IS pretty. I wish I had those skills. I wish it every time I see lovey things like that. My fingers have problems knowing what to do even when they've been told. They have aways been recalcitrant like that! Can't do a thing with them!

So I have some concerns as to how I'll fare over the long-term, given that I can't go browse in a store or run errands the way I normally would.<br /><br />I actually ordered 2 hard-covered books from Amazon today (one not released till May), and when the first comes I will be mindful that the virus lives on cardboard for 24 hours. <br /><br />That pillow cover is so pretty! Oh, that reminds me, have you seen the videos on how to make masks? A 10 - 20 minute project. It makes me wish I still had my sewing machine...and sewing supplies.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tBg0Os5FWQ&feature=youtu.be<br /><br />Take care; stay well!Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-1478653438492556542020-03-22T11:54:54.531-06:002020-03-22T11:54:54.531-06:00Oh my goodness, that pillow is beautiful.

The hardest part is not running to the store when you "think" you need something like everyone used to be able to do. I've ordered thinning hair cutting scissors from amazon but it won't be here for weeks....the 3 of us (including dog) are going to look pretty funky soon. We were out all day yesterday in the sun washing down the patio furniture and arranging it, getting the cushions out etc. It was 13 degrees and gloriously sunny.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
